The Alaska boundary commission from Canada and the United States arrives in London to review the dispute beginning Thursday. U.S. representatives include Secretary Root Senator Lodge and ex Senator Turner, while Canada is led by Justice Armour Sir Louis Jette and the lord chief justice. A Washington correspondent argues the dispute arose in 1873 after gold was found on the Canadian side and Canada seeks an outlet to the sea by redefining the boundary from headland to headland, challenging the 1825 Russia Britain treaty interpretation. The Canadian claim appears unstable in light of the treaty and prior negotiations.
The text notes Britain and Russia debating coastal boundaries in the Alaska region. Britain proposed a seaward base boundary but Russia objected, fearing unclear limits. The 1825 treaty granted Britain fishing rights inland for ten years, while Russia kept mainland possession to protect fur trade, with the Hudson’s Bay Co. leasing passage to tidewater for ten years.
